Qiao Fei stopped in his tracks…
Inside the empty hallway, they were the only ones standing there.
Qiao Fei didn’t give Amy a response; he despised the woman.
“Young Master Qiao, I got this lucky charm in the An Pei Qing Ming temple back when I was in Japan for a mission. He’s a world-renowned realm master and this will protect you forever if you wear it.”
Amy took out an adorable lucky charm. It was a red, traditional Japanese lucky charm.
Qiao Fei glanced at the object but didn’t take it.
“Why are you giving me this?” Qiao Fei asked calmly.
“I… don’t mean anything by it.” Amy was startled.
She indeed had never dated before and wasn’t quite sure how to behave around men.
Lu Yan forbade her followers from dating each other, so she always kept her distance from the men around her.
That was of course, until Qiao Fei appeared; his arrival made her heart skip a beat.
“So, did you give everyone a lucky charm?” asked Qiao Fei.
“No.”
“Does Lu Yan have one?” Qiao Fei asked directly.
“Boss… doesn’t have one… either,” Amy replied honestly, biting her lips.
“Haha, then why are you doing this?” Qiao Fei laughed coldly.
“Young Master Qiao, I just simply want you to be safe.”
“Amy, it stopped being simple the moment you decided to only give me this lucky charm. Why try to explain something you don’t have the answer to?”
“I…”
“Alright, that’s enough. No good will come from further talk. I won’t accept this so don’t try to give anything to me in the future. Seeing that you’ve followed Lu Yan for so many years, I’ll pretend that this never happened. Remember, don’t be the cause of your own demise.”
With that, Qiao Fei continued his way forward without looking back. Actually, he never even looked at Amy’s face throughout their conversation.
Qiao Fei was just that cold…
If there were really types of men, he would probably belong to the same type as Qin Chu and Rick.
If there was a name for their type, it would probably be the cold type.
So cold they could make you shiver on a hot summer day…
Amy took back the lucky charm awkwardly. She knew that Qiao Fei wasn’t an easily persuaded man, but she was still hopeful.
She would even dream of him embracing her in her sleep.
– Inside the restaurant –
“When are we leaving Brazil?” Qiao Fei asked.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Lu Yan continued to slice her beef, nonchalant as ever.
“It’s hot and dirty here,” Qiao Fei complained.
“The Antarctic’s pretty cool. Do you want me to buy a ticket to that place?” Lu Yan quipped.
“Will you die if you’re not being sarcastic?” Qiao Fei was speechless. Lu Yan wasn’t your regular gentlewoman.
“I won’t die but I’ll get bored… so… why not be sarcastic?”
“I’m just weirded out that you’re not running back home. I thought that you’d be… missing your sister a lot.”
“Don’t tempt me with my sister.”
“I’m just being honest.” Qiao Fei laid his hands out.
“I still have a lot of things to do for the exact reason of giving my sister a better life.”
“For example?” Qiao Fei questioned as he looked at the delicate yet terrifying woman.
“Guess…” Lu Yan smirked.
“You’re not going to blow up another one of Ian’s lairs, are you?” Qiao Fei didn’t think that it was possible for someone like Lu Yan to be so calm.
“No, you’re wrong this time.”
“So… what’s your plan?”
“My plan is…” Just as Lu Yan was about to continue, she glanced at the row of her men standing behind her, her expression a bit complicated.
